Happy Birthday with Daffodil Flowers

This is another sample of the botanical flower paper I had. Daffodils are just the right spring flowers.

The pieces used here are the same as mentioned in the first card (Happy Birthday with Alium Flowers). The arrangement is a little bit different due to the shape of the flowers.

In this detailed look you can see that I cut the flowers by leaving a little rim around everything. The background of the original paper was a light green. This makes the flowers and leave pop out a little more. I did cut in between leave, but not everywhere.

Using your craft knife takes a little practice. If you have never tried it before, make sure to follow these little tips:

- have a self-healing cutting mat to protect your surface

- your craft knife should have a nice sharp blade in it

- practice on a piece of scrap paper first

- hold your knife steady and carefully cut along the object

- turn your paper often so cutting along sides will be comfortable for you

It will not be easy at first, but practice will make it easier over time.
